Not too sure Greg, maybe a dispute?

I see Smith from PE spent a fortune the last two sales, last week he couldn't pay staff, now he's spending millions

Not right imo

All and all it looks like it was a pretty exciting sale

The following was lifted from a sportingpost article

At the conclusion of the sale, TBA CEO Kevin Woolward announced an aggregate achieved of R126 637 500, 5.9% down on last year’s figure of R134 615 000. However, he pointed out that this was largely due to the slightly smaller catalogue of 449 lots as opposed to 2014, which offered a draft of 529. Of the 449 lots catalogued, 345 changed hands, down on last year’s figure of 398. 39 lots were withdrawn, a huge improvement on the 2014 figure of 62, but the number of unsold lots was up on last year, numbering 35 compared to a total of 16 in 2014. There were a fewer number of buy backs, down to 30 on last year’s figure of 53. The sale average stood at R367 065, an 8.5% increase on last year’s figure of R338 229. The median was also up on last year’s figure at R240k, an increase of 6.7% on the 2014 figure of R225k.

The top vendor was Klipdrif Stud, who consigned 30 lots for R11 515 000 and Form Bloodstock was the leading buyer, taking home 18 lots for R14 135 000. Leading sire by aggregate was Silvano, with Dynasty topping the list by average. Top of the first season sires was Gimmethegreenlight, who finished 5th overall by aggregate.

Kevin commented, “It was a very strong top market with the middle market being notably absent. There was a broad spectrum of buyers, but all the top buyers were going for the same horses, resulting in some of those big prices. However, for astute buyers, there were bargains to be had at the lower end, although competition was keen at both ends of the market. While we finished down on aggregate, we are pleased with the increase in average and corresponding increase in median. All in all, a pleasing result.”
